Who are all these other men of which you speak?
I'm not allowed to see other girls, I don't think this is fair.

I know what you mean! First of all, see if you can delegate some of the chores to other household members.
If it seems overwhelming, work one room or small area at the time. Start by carrying around a trash bag for garbage and a box or basket for items that belong in other parts of the house. Get all the clutter up first, and then cleaning doesn't seem like such an enormous task.
Sometimes when I don't know where to start, I'll pick up and put away five items at the time. Take five dishes to the kitchen, throw five beer bottles away, hang up five garments, etc. Or mix it up - just do five things at a time. Then five more, etc. When you can see that you've made some progress, it'll go easier and faster.
Another trick is to work on a schedule, if possible. Work one hour, then take a fifteen minute break. Sit down and have a Coke or a glass of iced tea, coffee, or whatever. Then get up and work another specified amount of time, even if it's thirty minutes.
I'm good at cleaning up other people's messes, but I hate to tackle my own. But it has to be done, and you'll feel better when everything is neat and tidy.

What works for me.... As we unwrap gifts we place the paper in boxes or bags. As I serve drinks I remove left over glasses/bottles. As for the men/women I say you brought them and you will take them when you leave. So after everyone leaves I just have a little tidy up and it looks great..... Party Safe and have fun!!!!!!

Well first kick everyone out. Then just start at one end and work in sections. Reward yourself for each section that you get done. It might take a little while but you will get there! good luck!
